I just noticed that the electric seat and electric window buttons on my car operate without the key in the ignition when the passenger door is open, but not when the drivers door is open. As opening the drivers door does operate the interior light, I was wondering whether the switch in the door...

I have bought a 350 e class cdi with a factory fitted fold away towbar to tow my caravan. I have now been told that the only electrics for this are a single socket which is only good enough to tow a trailer. Has anyone got a solution. The tow bar was very expensive!!

Just got my first Merc a few days ago. Beautiful to drive, but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed by a number of electrical glitches which are possibly inter-related? When I test-drove I noticed the indicator LED on driver's mirror wasn't working. This was fixed when I picked up the car but...

Hi All, Can someone explain to me how turning off in car electrics such as the radio, heater etc, can improve MPG? I understand that using these items places more stress on the cars electrical system, however how does this effect the cars MPG? Thanks

Didn't know where to ask this - Engine/Electronics/General Forum etc, but here goes... I recently had a trip to Germany and broke down in our E320 CDI. It seems there is a cooling fan in the ECU housing that had blown a fuse rendering the vehicle immobile. Got towed to a local Merc dealer...

Hi all, I'm new on this site but thought I'd give it a go as the other forum I've been using has come up with no answers on this one! :wallbash: I'm asking for some help before I take the final step and send my Front SAM off for a re-programme. I've posted before and listed the electrical...

It happened 1 week ago when I drove across town and my all internal electrics just "disappered". It started from no electric windows. Then I noticed no turn lights and headlights. Radio worked fine. Car was ok and it didnt die or something but it had no connection to listed electronics. Strangly...

I went for my first decent run in the CL500 this weekend, across the country to darkest East Yorkshire. Amused to see the trip computer range increasing on the motorway, I saw that earlier this year when I went to Goodwood with a friend in his 7 series Beemer, its as if you are making fuel...

Hi all I have a W210 year 2000 estate and am fitting a towbar. Can I simply Scotchlock (horrible things) into the rear light wiring or do I need to have a 7 way relay thing whatever that is. I don't want to do anything which will upset the cars somewhat sensitive and delicate electrics...

Hi, The windows on the drivers side of my car no longer go back up when the door is closed, also non of the buttons for the seat adjustment or other windows work. Any help would be really appreciated Clint

I take delivery of a new C220 estate on 16th August to which I will be fitting a towbar myself. There are "plug-in" towbar socket wiring kits available off the shelf. Is it just a case of plug & go, or does the car have to go into a main dealer for some sort of (prbably expensive!) software...
